Bulk Buying to Share Cost with Family and Friends

How To Cut Cost When Bulk Buying

Buying in Bulk can save you lots of money.  You can go in together with friends and family when you find a sale.  You can buy more with this type of group buying.

Group buying and bulk buying surely go hand in hand with increasing community and family unity and support.  You can feel out your neighbors and see it they are the type of people that would buy lawn supplies or even a snow blower together.  Or you can share information that you have such a tool they could use if you have what they need.

In these trying times, when we have a divided country as seen, you can break the spell by doing what you can for the change.  Though a little change, it is teaching others how to share and the importance of this as a way of life.

Our country has come far from the enslaved black people from Africa to where we are now. Every effort in this administration is to take back, regress, ban books-not just African- American books but the history, of other authors or great writers.   You might wonder what in the world do this have to do with Bulk buying.  Well, everything.  When you change your way of thinking, you also change the way you live and promote change in the community and family.  The world is a better place for it.

I grew up in the state of Virginia, where many of my family members shared and gave to those who were in need.    I lived in Virginia before integration, where church and growing up in a family business , you were expected to help out.  Almost everyone had a little garden; and so, to share fruits and vegetables from your garden, was an expected thing.  Food preserving with those Mason jars, was popular with almost all black families, there.  When someone visit your home, it was not unusual to give a gift of a jar of apple preserves, pear preserves, and even string beans. Having your own fruit tree was a normality. No worries about getting your Vitamin C.

Yes, we must go forward to make America the best for all people.  We have come a long way.  We want progress for our children, we want progress for our country, we want progress for the world.

As a nurse, I found out that I was a political person without realizing for a long time.   Being a good listener help to understand people more and to respond appropriately. I appreciate people could share their feelings and experiences.  However, I do consider myself being an activist and a catalyst for positive change. Another thing about nurses, we body read when words are not spoken-not from our patients, but anybody. That is a unique and built-in gift that many people overlook but get better at when they get to know the person.

I hope you like this article, because it does give pause for thought. Thank you for visiting my blog and hopefully you will save money with your purchases, checking for coupons before you buy and to share those sales with friends and relative.

Remember, that the mind is a very valuable thing. Know all the ways that you can be manipulated to do adverse actions that don’t benefit you or anyone else.

“Shout Outs” to Events of Recent Days

https://klap.app/?via=thelma-harcum

The Joys, The Remembrance, The Concerns

Shout Out- To The Eagles Football team who won the Super Bowl!

Truely, this was a tremendous triumph over the many adversities they had to face.

The win was what the team and city of Philadelphia needed when so many trials and tribulations have occurred and occurring as I write.

The Lombardi s Trophy is a site to see again, and it only took 7 years to get it again!

Shout Out- to All of the people that who survive the Jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia and condolence go out to all who lost their lives on that plane.  They were on a mission for the good. Prayers go to the families and all involved.  Hopefully, they will find the reason for such a tragedy. Prayers, Prayers

Shout Out- Prayers to those who was on the plane crash in Washington, DC .  Prayers, Prayers     I remembered that 2 weeks before that crash, I had donated $20 to the Philadelphia Skating Club that needed funds to repair the building. I feel connected to the people who was connected to the school in a personal way. Prayers to all involved in a very heart-felt way. Every life is important.

Shout Out- To all who is in wonder about this recent election.  It is important that we all keep visual and to put into action by communication you protest for what is happening to the ordinary people.  I’ve written about Democracy, but when Its all about how much can be taken away from your livelihood and mere existence, is not the government we want or ever want.  Now, is the time to daily read about all events that will change your life and your future.  We have enough going on with climate change and all the people who are homeless because of it, the American People don’t need the bullets of evil attacking them every day.  Truely a pass of self-destruction is what we all see, because, as one wants to make such drastic changes, should know, that some changes we know once the genie is in the bottle, you can’t take it out, but in the world as it stands now, we are the genie, that cannot be taken out of its bottle. l gave great thought to this statement. Yes, we know about government waste, indulging wars, and just racism that have kept America from being where it should be. Billions of dollars of waste where, money should have been place in making the American people’s lives better. No one in America should be hungry, homeless and without good medical care.  So, at this moment, every person who want to move our country forward and for the betterment of all people, do something now! Not tomorrow, not next week, but at the moment. Read everything that is happening and do read as much as possible about Project 2025. To “divide and conger” is the old game, the new game is for us to “join together, share, plan and protest”.

Let’s continue the American Dream with strength, wisdom, and with a clear vision.   We are all in this together. There’s only one earth. Once that’s gone, there’s nowhere else to go. So, let’s keep America together and to encourage the world to better and prosper in ways that will improve the lives of many.
